'X TATE UNIVERSITY DOVVNSTATE MEDICAL CENTER 450 CLARKSON AVENUE, BROOKLYN, NEW' YORK 'ITZOS AREA CODE 212 270-T000 Office of the President mst .vv sr ic s My congratulations and best wishes to all members of the Class of 1968 on the attainment of the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Each of you by this time has made some decision as to the future course you will pursue within your chosen profession. Your choices in today's society are far-reaching. The health industry is already the nation's third largest employer. Costs for its services are rising twice as fast as the general cost of living. Though the number of new doctors will increase over the next ten years and, with modern techniques and organization, each doctor will hopefully be able to give more service, the demand for services will rise even faster. Recent events have so altered our country's concept of health care that some have called this phenomenon a revolution. President Lyndon B, Johnson, in his 1967 special message to the Congress on education and health, defined as a national goal Good health for every citizen to the limitations of our country's capacity to provide it. More health legislation has been enacted in the last two years in this country than in the previous 150 years. A whole new governmental force has emerged as a result of Medicare, the Regional Medical Programs, and the programs in Comprehensive Health Care Planning, and there are indications that additional legislation will soon strengthen this force. At this point certain observations become clear. The private physician, the teacher, the researcher, and the voluntary hospital will no longer have the privilege of living within their own four walls and independently choosing the manner in which they will perform their functions and determine their programs. As health care services become more complex and widespread they will of necessity become more centralized and interdependent. This new era in health care requires a new type of organization. It demands true leadership on the part of doctors, medical centers, voluntary hospitals, and other health agencies to bring the type and quality of health care to the community that the public expects and demands. This is a large order, but despite existing problems and probable future difficulities, it is my view that you as future doctors can and should actively and intensively accept the challenge offered and take a major interest and responsibility in the planning and providing of comprehensive health care for the community. As a doctor you should not merely be 3 PHSSWS reactor to plans made by others. The tradition, orientation, and responsibilityof your. profession for patient service requires that you actively and constructively participate in the original planning process and bring to this task the very best that your background, training, and special interests enable you to offer. 164444 Telephone: J' I-L Zn.

Mya f 1 , f 'LTCQW 5 -a ,E 'W JE .f,,,p,gf as Yi STANLEY M. ARONSON, Assistant Dean and Professor of Pathology, besides being one of the most well informed physicians that we have en- countered, is also unusually conversant in almost any other subject matter which exists, this includes stu- dents' financial vagaries! He is also Faculty Adviser to the LICHONIAN and to the Student Council. Dr. Aronson was appointed Neuropathologist and Assistant Professor at Downstate in 1954, and has served on the faculties of Yale and P. 85 S. Early in his career, Dr. Aronson was interested in the endocrinologic variables of experimental polio. Presently, his concern is the lipidoses, especially Tay-Sachs disease. Dr. Aronson is also concerned with the social, ethnic, medical, and genetic factors of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Aronson believes that a more intimate rela- tionship is needed between students and faculty. He feels that the school has a profound responsibility and must meet the demands of the community. A physician is a social creaturew and not just a scientist separate from his community. In line with these feelings, Dr. Aronson would like to see courses in contemporary sociology, ethnology, morality, and ethics introduced into the curriculum. Dr. Aronson lives in New Rochelle with his wife, a research pediatrician and pathologist, and two small daughters. His oldest daughter was recently married. Dr. Aronson raises orchids in his large green- house and also enjoys gardening, carpentry, sculp- ture, and painting. His intense interest in music is centered mainly in the works of Mahler, Bruckner, Bach, and Wagner. 24 Born in Brooklyn, BERNARD ARON, Assistant Professor of Radiology, attended Midwood High School. He received his M.D. degree from New York University Medical School. His training in radiology was obtained at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and his postgraduate training in radiotherapy at the Christie Hart Holt Radiation Center in England. Dr. Aron has been at Downstate for four years, during which time he had little contact with students until last year when the program in radiology was expanded. He is pleased that many of the students he has met have been well trained clinically as well as academically. However, he feels that the emphasis in most medical schools is still too strongly research oriented. The student, he feels, has more lectures on scleroderma than on lung cancer. Dr. Aron lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two children. Spare time, a rare commodity, is usually spent playing football and handball. '53 t . One of our favorite pathologists is Greek-born THOMAS J. ATHANASSIADES. He feels that any member of the faculty that doesnft feel teach- ing medical students is his or her business has no business whatever in a medical school. He attended Haaren High School in Manhattan and received his B.S. degree from The City College of New York. Following graduation from Tulane Medical College, he interned at St. Vincent's Hospital and received his residency training at Kings County Hospital. In addition to working on immunopathology, he is the coordinator of the pathology program for medical students. He feels that Downstate students are ex- ceptionally good and that they teach their instruc- tors a great deal. Dr. Athanassiades lives in Brooklyn with his Wife and young daughter. In his leisure time he enjoys listening to opera. A man of eminent stature, CHANDLER MCC. BROOKS won us over with his personal warmth and interesting stories. Dr. Brooks came to the Long lsland College of Medicine in 1948 as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology. Since 1956, he has been Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physiology at Downstate, from 1956-1966 he was Director of the Graduate Educational Program, and, since 1966, he has been Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. The State University at Downstate is in the stage of rapid expansion, and Dr. Brooks, in the forefront of that expansion, envisions the school at a cross- roads, where the choice of path can utilize a great potential of integrated teaching or can squander the potential on the road to mediocrity. He feels that the function of Downstate is to teach, and all else must be subordinated to that goal. Dr. Brooks received his A.B. from Oberlin Col- lege, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton. In his distinguished career he has been a National Re- search Fellow, Instructor, and Associate at the Harvard Medical School, and an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University. His interests have been in the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine sys- tems, and their relationships to one another and the total integrated organism. Dr. Brooks' special fin- terest is in the history of physiology. Unfortunately, Dr. Brooks is approaching the retirement age, and students at Downstate will miss a great teacher and friend in the years to come. 25 It is difficult to express in words the verve, en- thusiasm and dynamic personality of RITA CAR- RIERE, Assistant Professor of Anatomy. Part of her sparkling energy arises from her love for teach- ing and her ability to highlight each lecture with humor. Although at times she seems to be racing the clock in an attempt to include as much material as possible, she never over-burdens the class. Want- ing to teach for as long as she can remember, she chose to study histology at McGill University where she earned her Ph.D. in anatomy. After teaching at McGill and the University of Toronto, she joined the Downstate staff in 1960. She has done much re- search and is currently writing the section on hormonal influence on liver cell growth for the International Review of Cytology. Despite this hectic schedule, she has managed to find time to study philosophy at New York University. She hopes someday to earn a Ph.D. in philosophy and eventually to write on the philosophy of science. Dr. Carriere enjoys a wide variety of interests and is an accomplished pianist, skier, and tennis player, and has studied the harpsichord. She also has a fine collection of Eskimo art and antique books. She commutes daily to Downstate from her apartment in Manhattan. 26 HUGH J. CARROLL, Assistant Professor of Medicine, is well known for his informative, com- prehensive, erudite, and Witty lectures. Dr. Carroll attended Regis High School, Fordham University, and New York University School of Medicine. While a house oificer at Bellevue he decided to pursue a career in academic medicine. Since then his research interests have centered on electrolyte composition in normal and disease states and transport properties of cellular membranes. In 1964 he joined the Down- state Medical Center faculty. Dr. Carroll states that he enjoys nothing better than teaching although he does miss the personal patient contact available in private practice. He characterizes Downstate students as capable, and asserts he has learned a great deal from them. He is enthusiastic about proposed changes in medical edu- cation which he thinks should be shorter, more selec- tive in content, and less repetitive. His outside activities include a subscription to the Metropolitan Opera, attendance at football games, and cultural interests such as the study of language and the history of the Near East. He admits, how- ever, that most of his spare time is spent at home with his wife and three daughters and three sons. S l like to deal with students. I find them stimulat- ing and interesting. Students feel the same way about JOHN CRAIG, who, as an Associate Pro- fessor of Microbiology and Immunology, has re- peatedly demonstrated that energetic and intelligent approach to course material which characterizes an excellent teacher. A graduate of Oberlin College, Dr. Craig received his M.D. degree from Western Reserve in 1947, and interned at Yale-New Haven Medical Center in Medicine. He spent another year there studying in- fectious diseases before taking a fellowship at West- ern Reserve in preventitive medicine. He then served in this capacity as an Army officer during the Korean War, and remained in Tokyo as an epidemiologist for the Army,s Far-Eastern Laboratory. In 1952 he studied at the Harvard School of Public Health, and then did research on Arbo viruses at the Rocke- feller Foundation before coming to the Downstate faculty in 1954. He has since investigated the pathophysiology of cholera, and has helped to es- tablish therapeutic measures among the medical community in Pakistan. Dr. Craig feels that Downstatels nucleus is the medical school, and that the success of the expansion programs will be judged only by the better quality of medical education which, hopefully, will ensue. He has precious little time for his hobbies -of photography, natural history, and Held biology which he has pursued throughout the United States and, whenever possible, on his scientific trips to Mexico, Pakistan, Europe and the Far-East. If anything stood out amongst Krebs, cycles and urine bottles it was PHILLIP C. CHAN, who brought the human qualities of sincere interest and devotion to the teaching of biochemistry. Born in Amoy, China, Dr. Chan received his early education in Singapore, his college education in Monmouth, Illinois, and his Ph.D. at Columbia University. He was a fellow at Johns Hopkins and at the Max Planck Institute in Munich, he came to Downstate in 1960. Dr. Chan is studying the enzyme systems in the red cell membrane, and sees a bright future for Downstate and the health related sciences. He spends his leisure time enjoying music, plays, the opera, and amateur photography, and he is the proud father of a new baby girl. 27 DOMINICK J. DI MAIO, Lecturer in Pathology and the Deputy Chief Medical Examiner for the City of New York in charge of Brooklyn, is well known to us for his colorful lectures and fascinating elective in forensic pathology. Dr. Di Maio, a native New Yorker, attended DeWitt Clinton High School and Long Island University. Upon graduation from the Marquette University School of Medicine he re- turned to New York for an internship at Columbus Hospital and pathology residencies at the Maimon- ides and Greenpoint Hospitals. He began studying forensic pathology in 1950 and came to Kings County Hospital in 1960. Dr. Di Maio feels that at least five academic lectures and a series of informal seminars would be necessary to give the students the basic fasts of forensic pathology, an increasingly im- portant aspect of medicine. Dr. Di Maio has lived in Brooklyn since 1940 with his wife and four children. His son, Vincent, is currently a resident in pathology at Kings County Hospital, and his oldest daughter, Therese-Martin, is in our class. Playing the piano and collecting and reading old books on forensic pathology occupy much of Dr. Di Maio's time. We can only hope that future generations of Downstate graduates will receive increasing exposure to this lively teacher and his exciting specialty. 28 Whether discussing Virginia Woolf or schiz- ophrenic behavior, FERRUCCIO DICORI never loses the enthusiam or interest of the students. A Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Dr. diCori attempts to see psychiatry from a social and artistic point of view through the media of theater and journalism. He sees the theater as an expresson of social movement, an expression which deals with the why, how, and where of life. A graduate in medicine of the University of Rome, Dr. diCori received his psychiatric training at Har- vard. Prior to coming to Downstate he served as a Scientific Lecturer for the Voice of America and Supervising Psychiatrist at Hillside Hospital. For many of us, Thursday morning psychiatry lectures with RICHARD A. DROOZ were a wel- come relief from the cadaver and spectrophotometer. His incisive wit and friendly manner helped simplify the diflicult material he was presenting. A native of Albany, N.Y., Dr. Drooz received his A.B. degree from Cornell University and his M.D. from the Albany Medical College. He obtained the 3rd highest score on the National Boards. Dr. Drooz interned at Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York. Follow- ing his internship he was appointed Chief Resident in Neurology and Neurosurgery at Mt. Sinai. After serving as a captain in the U.S. Army, he returned to the Long Island College of Medicine-V.A. Psychiatry training program. He received his psychoanalytic training at Downstate. Dr. Drooz attempts to achieve a balance between teaching and practice. For several years he donated half his time to teaching. He states that the happiest activity of life has been the series of lectures to the first year studentsf, if I g . ,. gpiftfft ,f f ' 5-1,314 jp- ' Q , V , . .,.,,,,.,, . . . ,... . ggi f , , i 1 , g ' 7 J ' N f 'V 195' It is LUDWIG W. EICHNA, Professor and Chair- man of the Department of Medicine, who in our sophomore year lirst introduced us to clinical medi- cine. He stressed the importance of our appearance and bearing in our relationships with patients and emphasized a logical, systematic approach to making a diagnosis. Dr. Eichna was born in Tallinn, Estonia and has lived in the United States since the age of four. He received his medical education and training at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins Uni- versity. He then spent twenty years at New York University and has been at Downstate since 1960. He believes that many formats of medical education and practice today are outmoded and inefficient, and that major changes will soon occur. He also feels that only by reaching for what seems to be beyond our grasp and by never being satisfied with our present state can we achieve our maximum potential. In his leisure time, Dr. Eichna cherishes the solace he finds in hiking alone in the Adirondacks. He also collects old medical tracts. The warmth Dr. Eichna radiates to his patients is but one example of his love for life. To have been exposed to him has been an invaluable privilege. 29 IRWIN FEINBERG believes that the function of a medical school is to pass on to its students the information and ethics of medical care. A familiar, friendly face in the Psychiatry Department, Dr. Fein- berg feels that Downstate shares in the dilemmas faced by medical education today-full time versus part time teaching, and teaching versus research. He would like to see the leadership solve these problems so that Downstate might achieve its potential as a top school and likewise attract top personnel. Dr. Feinberg grew up in Brooklyn not far from Kings County Hospital. A graduate of Brooklyn College, Swarthmore CMasters in Psychologyj, and New York University College of Medicine, he served at Boston City Hospital, Massachusetts Mental Health Clinic, and the National Institutes of Health before coming to Downstate. He also spent a year with Piaget in Switzerland, where he also learned to ski. His interests include studying sleep and thought disorders. Dr. Feinberg spends his leisure time sailing or skiing. 30 .XX X XX A native of Brooklyn, New York, HAROLD FINK received his B.A. degree from Columbia Uni- versity in 1923 and his M.D. degree from Long Island College Hospital in 1926. After interning at the Jewish Hospital of Brooklyn, he was their as- sistant pathologist for three years. He has been a pathologist at Coney Island Hospital for the past thirty-six years, and also Chief of their Hematology Clinic, Chief of Laboratory Services and Executive Director of their Research Institute. In conjunction with his appointment as special consultant to the World Health Organization, he traveled throughout Southern Europe during the fall of 1966 to organize a joint program with the Cooleyfs Anemia Founda- tion for the study and treatment of thalassemia. As Curator of Tissue Registry of the Cooley's Anemia Foundation, tissue removed at operation and autopsy in the United States or in Italy or Greece is sent to him for study. He is Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology at Downstate Medical Center and Iinds pleasure in teaching second-year students their clini- cal and anatomical pathology. During his leisure time, Dr. Fink enjoys playing bridge, continuing his philatelic collection which dates back to 1908, and growing roses at his summer home in Gardiner, New York. Recently he was made an honorary Kentucky Colonel in honor of having been the National President of Phi Epsilon fifteen years ago. His family includes his wife, a former junior high school music teacher, a son, a graduate of Downstate Medical Center 119573 and presently a Clinical Instructor at Yale, and two grandchildren. lt is difficult to see how ELI FRIEDMAN, Asso- ciate Professor of Medicine, manages to fulfill all of his teaching duties and clinical responsibilities and still maintain an active research program. After at- tending medical school at Downstate and internship, fellowship, and residency at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, he became a U.S. Public Health epidemic officer. He joined our staff in 1963. lnvolved with the hemodialysis unit at Kings County Hospital, a beginning kidney transplant pro- gram, and research in tissue immunology, Dr. Fried- man nevertheless devotes a large part of his day to giving the students didactic lectures in nephrology as well as meeting informally with the house staff and student body. He is one of the organizers of the recently begun interdisciplinary seminars which are of great interest to students and faculty. Dr. Friedman enjoys playing chess and is also an amateur photographer. He not only takes many beautiful portrait photographs of his lovely family, but he also photographs research experiments and interesting clinical cases. He lives with his wife and three daughters in the Midwood section of Brooklyn in order to be near the hospital when he is needed in the care of his patients. No one who has ever come in contact with Dr. Friedman has failed to be stimulated intellectually and morally about the many questions facing society today. LAWRENCE FRANK hails from Brooklyn. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1936 and from the Long Island College of Medi- cine in 1940. Internship at City Hospital of New York followed, and then residency training at Skin and Cancer Hospital in Philadelphia. After serving as an army captain, Dr. Frank assumed numerous positions on the staff of several New York hospitals. Dr. rFranekjoin'ed the faculty of Liongisland College of Medicine and is now Professor and Director of the Division of Dermatology. Dr. Frank believes that the main problem in our medical school is that we're new? We have not been able to utilize our facilities efficiently enough and we are bogged down with bureaucracy. He feels that the large volume of students at Downstate can be handled satisfactorily if we can obtain an ade- quate number of personnel. Dr. Frank's special interests include basic work in chemical mediation of inflammation and penicillin hypersensitivity. His department has pioneered the use of methotrexate in psoriasis. He has also been concerned with pemphigus and bullous diseases, as well as the use of benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of acne. Dr. Frank lives in Brooklyn with his wife. He has a daughter and son, both in college. Among his avocational interests are art and sculpture the has exhibited his works in school art showsjg Mrs. Frank is purchasing art works for State University Hospital. Dr. Frank also raises orchids in his greenhouse. As a skiing enthusiast, he has added himself to the Hstatisticsf' 31 A distinguished scientist, teacher, and interested friend, ROBERT F. FURCHGOTT helped smooth the way through the first part of our second year. His quiet manner and calm reassurance guided us as we headed toward an understanding of things pharmacological. Dr. Furchgott graduated from the University of North Carolina with a B.S., and received his Ph.D. at Northwestern University. After holding positions at Cornell Medical College and Washington Univer- sity School of Medicine, he came to Downstate in 1956 as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology. A member of numerous scientific societies, Dr. Furehgott is especially proud to have been elected to A.O.A. as a faculty member. Married and the father of three daughters, Dr. Furchgott enjoys swimming, surf fishing, and skiing, which he first tried while on sabbatical in Switzerland in 1962. With regard to his skiing, he claims that he has not gotten much beyond the f'novice class. 32 JOHN FROSCH became a member of the Depart- ment of Psychiatry at Downstate in January, 1966, after spending 25 years with the Psychiatry Depart- ment at Bellevue. ln addition to teaching part of the second year psychiatry course here, he is Director of Psychiatry at the Brookdale Medical Center where he is organizing a new psychiatry department as well as a community health center. Dr. Frosch is also the editor of The Journal of the American Psychoanaly- tic Association and the Annual Survey Qf Psy- chocznczlysis, a job with which his wife assists greatly. After receiving his M.D. degree from the Univer- sity of Berne, Switzerland in 1934, Dr. Frosch spent a year at Montefiore in neurology, and then did his psychiatry residency at Bellevue. He received ad- ditional training in psychiatry and psychoanalysis at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, both affiliated with Columbia University. Dr. Frosch received his board certification in psychoanalysis in 1942. He, his wife, and their three children live in Great Neck, where hc enjoys gardening. His other hobbies include high fidelity systems and wine collecting. WARREN GLASER, Associate Professor of Medicine, is intimately concerned with the many aspects of teaching. As director of the second year course in physical diagnosis, he takes great pride in watching the students mature as they learn to be- come physicians. He is always available to answer questions and help students understand a diiiicult point. He is a strong advocate of such student- faculty discussion -and--would4ike4o--see more feed- back from the student to the staff develop so as to help the administration improve the level of educa- tion. Dr. Glaser has been a strong force behind the curriculum changes and is pleased with the students' acceptance of the new program. Since joining our staff in 1956 after fellowship training in nephrology at Oak Ridge, Dr. Glaser has been doing intricate research into the hemodynamics of renal blood flow. He truly enjoys his teaching activities, or as he calls it: L'The Rites of Spring. Married and the father of two beautiful daughters, he lives with his family in downtown Brooklyn. MICHAEL R. GOLDING is a native of Brooklyn, New York. Part of his undergraduate training was spent in the south where he played pro- fessional football. He finished his premedical career at the University of Vermont, where he received his B.A. degree. He was a graduate of Downstate Medi- cal Center in 1959 and completed an internship at Mt. Sinai Hospital of New York. He received his board certifications in both general and thoracic sur- gery after completing his residency at Kings County Hospital. In 1966, he was appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at Down- state Medical Center. At the present time, he is doing research in the pathophysiology of pulmonary embolism. However, the pleasure he derives from his research does not compare with that from teaching medical students. Dr. Golding is a bachelor and lives on Manhattan's East Side. He is an avid sportsman and participates actively in skiing, boxing and handball. He owns a commercial fishing boat which specializes in lobster catching. He vacationed in South America during this past summer where he enjoyed a life of sun- ning and sailing. 33 A familiar face to all at the Institute of Pathology, HARRY GRUBER is the Curator of the Pathology Museum. Born in Brooklyn, Dr. Gruber attended Boys High School and Columbia University. After his graduation from Georgetown Medical School, Dr. Gruber interned at Kings County Hospital. He re- mained at Kings County, working in neurology and chest diseases for 25 years before beginning work for the Pathology Department in 1958. The pathology museum has more than 4000 speci- mens. A great majority of them are from Kings County Hospital, others have been sent from distant areas by physicians who have trained at the Institute. Dr. Gruber hopes that the students, as well as other departments in the medical school, will make in- creased use of this valuable teaching aid. Dr. Gruber, a bachelor, lives in Brooklyn, and spends his spare time with carpentry and photog- raphy. 34 With a warm smile and personable wink, J. ED- WARD HALL, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynec- ology, is always eager to pursue his strongest in- terest-teaching medical students. Dr. Hall, a graduate of Columbia University in 1927, received his M.D. degree from the Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1930. He completed his obstetrical training at the Brooklyn Hospital. Students today, he remarks, are better prepared and have greater motivation than students forty years ago. But, with the increasing role of government participation in health care, the student is going to be placed in a more difficult position concerning his desire to provide the best in medical care and his ability to achieve economic stability. Dr. Hall foresees an increasing role for the ob- stetrician, especially in the areas of family planning and population control. He envisions the future ob- stetrician as the female general practitioner, whereby the physician will assume responsibility for the care of all childhood and adult female genital problems. As for the future of academic medicine, Dr. Hall emphasizes that private and academic medicine will become amalgamated. The emphasis on medical edu- cation in the future will be placed on teaching in the form of new curriculum and teaching aids. In his spare time, Dr. Hall enjoys spending his weekends at his farm in Bethel, Connecticut. A native of Czechoslovakia, LADISLAV P. HIN- TERBUCHNER studied medicine in his home coun- try. After completing an internship in New Jersey, he finished a residency program at Meadowbrook Hospital on Long Island and studied neurology at both the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital and Kings County Hospital. He spent two years specializing in neurochemistry at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital. He was Director of Neurology at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital for live years and has been Director of the Neurology Department at the Brooklyn-Cum- berland Medical Center for the past two years. Recently some of his research related to experiment- ally produced dystrophic muscle disease in mice was published. As Clinical Associate Professor of Neu- rology at Downstate Medical Center, Dr. Hinter- buchner enjoys teaching with a Mbedside clinical approachf, His wife is Director of Rehabilitation at Metro- politan and Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospitals. His most exciting avocation, although infrequently en- joyed, consists of big game hunting in Africa, where he spent a few weeks this past summer. LOUIS M. HELLMAN, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, has had a long and distinguished career in his field. Stimulated to pursue a career in medicine by the famous Dr. Goldblatt, forty years ago, Dr. Hellman made his mark early, graduating from Johns Hop- kins Medical School in l934, and interning in sur- gery at the New York Hospital. After spending a year of residency in pathology at New York Hos- pital, Dr. Hellman returned to Johns Hopkins Hos- pital to complete his internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology. For me obstetrics and gynecology has provided an exciting life. l've traveled extensively and have worked with many famous people. Concerning the future of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Hellman notes that obstetrical patients have decreased be- cause of birth control. He feels that the field is not attracting the people it should. The broad reaching problems of family planning and population growth must be dealt with adequately. He foresees a greater role for allied health personnel, especially nurse mid- wives. In his leisure time, Dr. Hellman enjoys farming on his 26-acre farm in Maryland, and he also likes to do target shooting. 35 PETER K. KOTTMEIER is Chief of Pediatric Surgery at Kings County Hospital. He was born and grew up in Munich, Germany, and went to medical school at the University of Munich. After an intern- ship in Germany, he took a residency in pathology, during which time he came to the United States. He became interested in surgery and trained at Kings County Hospital for four years. He then went to Ohio State University and Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio for a year. In 1962, he returned to Brooklyn, with his present position. Dr. Kottmeier feels that an important role will develop for pediatric surgery in helping to lower infant mortality rates. He points out that presently there are less than one hundred children's hospitals in the United States and that many medical centers have not yet established pediatric surgery divisions. This situation, fortunately, is improving with in- creased awareness that many neonatal complications, other than those of prematurity, are amenable to surgery. Dr. Kottmeier is married and has three children. He likes classical music and plays the piano in a chamber music ensemble with his sons. He also owns a sailboat, and enjoys using it whenever possible. 36 Not only for her nearly famous table comparing hematological changes in polycythemia vera, chronic granulocytic leukemia, and essential thrombocytosis, but also for her enthusiastic and vivacious teaching will we remember DOROTHY M. HOLDEN, As- sistant Professor of Medicine. Dr. Holden grew up in Centralia, Illinois and received her education at the University of Illinois and Meharry Medical College. During her intern- ship, she began to find that patients with hematologi- cal problems were especially interesting to her and therefore decided upon a career in hematology. After residency training, she came to Downstate, one of the main factors bringing her here being her admira- tion for the work done by Dr. R. Janet Watson in sickle cell anemia. Dr. Holden finds todayis students better qualified than in the past and believes this is because they are presented 'with more information and thereby chal- lenged more. As an increasing amount of emphasis is placed on research, she worries about the future availability of doctors to teach students clinical subjects. She finds teaching to be an activity which is not only pleasurable in itself, but which, by its Hcross-stimulation, is of great benefit to both teach- cr and student. Dr. Holden is married to a lawyer, has an eight year old son, and lives in Brooklyn. In her leisure time, she enjoys listening to jazz and big band music and reading intricate murder mysteries. We will en- joy our memories of this effervescent and enthusias- tic teacher. NORMAN KRASNOW, a Downstate graduate Cclass of l955J, is now in charge of the cardiology laboratories at DoWnstate's State University Hos- pital. He interned at Montefiore Hospital and was a resident there, also. Uncle Sam's Navy occupied his time for two years, and then he returned home,' to a Kings County Hospital residency for one year. He .then became an ' ' ' ' nd a.Research.. . Fellow at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and Harvard Medical School for two years. Dr. Krasnowls main research interests center around myocardial physiology, especially as mani- fested in clinical disease states. At home, he has a wife, three children fages eleven, seven, and fourl and a German shepherd, Juno C age two-and-a-halfj. He recently has found that he is spending more time at home doing carpentry work than out on the courts playing tennis. g g gr l pg if 2 li Q.. ...,,,,i EDWARD KUCHINSKAS is a vitally important member of the Downstate faculty. Professor of Bio- chemistry and Assistant Dean of the Graduate School, his attitudes, ideas, and energy are necessary for this school's growth. A full time teacher and researcher, he is also a member of the Admissions Committee, the Research Resources and Programs Committee, Sigma Xi, several chemical societies in addition to helping integrate the graduate programs and facilities. Dr. Kuchinskas believes that a strong foundation in the basic sciences greatly benefits today's phy- sician, and largely determines his future growth. They should not g'compete with the clinical ap- proach, but should 'fgo deeperf' to provide a basis or support for appreciating and understanding any clinical situation. Providing this foundation for Downstate students has been his concern since his faculty appointment in 1956. He holds a B.S. degree from Queens College, and a Ph.D. degree from Cor- nell University Medical College where he has also taught. Downstate's new expansion, he believes, provides the Brooklyn-Queens area with a health center which combines academic and clinical features of excell- ence? Married and the father of one boy, Dr. Kuchins- kas' interests include short-wave radio communica- tions, tropical fish, and camping-especially with his sonls Boy Scout troop. He lives in Kew Gardens, New York. 37 DAVID M. KYDD received his B.S. degree from Princeton University and his M.D. degree from Har- vard Medical School. Upon his graduation from Harvard, he became a research fellow at Yale Uni- versity's Institute of Medicine for four years. He then became a full-time faculty member at the Mary Immogene Hospital, an afiiliate of Columbia Uni- versityas College of Physicians and Surgeons in Cooperstown, New York, for thirteen years. His academic career continued as an Associate Professor at Yale, followed by his becoming an Associate Pro- fessor at Downstate Medical Center in 1952. In 1958 he became Professor of Medicine and Assistant Dean of our school. He is secretary of the Committee of Clinical Resources and Programs, and is a member of the Committee of Student Affairs as well as the Committee on Admissions. He is active in teaching in the fourth year medicine training program and is doing investigative work in thyroid disease at Kings County Hospital. Although Dr. Kydd is quite active in administra- tion and teaching, he finds some relaxation at his home in Brooklyn Heights or at his summer house in Cooperstown, New York, with his wife, family, and two grandchildren. His avocations include read- ing, photography and carpentry. Dr. Kydd's son followed his father,s footsteps at Princeton, where he studied physical chemistry. For the latest dope on digitalis or just gentle en- couragement, KWANG S. LEE was there to ease our way through pharmacology. An interested teacher and researcher, Dr. Lee typifies the kind of people that made upharmu one of our favorite courses. Dr. Lee received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in pharmacology from the Imperial University in Japan. Twenty years ago, he came to the United States to Jefferson Medical College where he attained the position of associate professor. Dr. Lee then went to Johns Hopkins for a Ph.D. in biochemistry, and, in 1956, came to Downstate with Dr. Robert Furch- gott to the Department of Pharmacology. A dilemma, Dr. Lee feels, is facing the State University: whether to simply turn out doctors or become well known by its achievements in research. He thinks that Downstate is improving and this is pointed out by the attraction of better students. Whether the school realizes its full worth depends upon how it solves the problem of research versus teaching and the problem of producing truly inspired and satisfied graduates. Dr. Lee has been doing some of the basic research on the mechanism of action of the cardiac glycosides. He lives in Tarrytown with his family. He enjoys varied sports, among which is skiing, but his main leisure activity is reading. One of the more pleasant memories we have of Downstate was our contact with HERBERT C. LICHTMAN. He presented an enjoyable, interest- ing, and descriptive introduction to laboratory medi- cine in the second year by placing an emphasis on a desire to teach students. Dr. Lichtman attended the Long Island College of Medicine and did his residency training and fellow- ship in medicine at Kings County Hospital under Dr. Dock. As an Assistant Dean of Downstate, he is keenly aware of the need for change in medical teaching. He feels that better incorporation and in- tegration between the basic sciences and clinical sciences as well as within the basic sciences them- selves are of a major necessity. Better use must be made of Noutlyingv hospitals so that decentralization can take place. Since there is a demand for more physicians, a greater emphasis will be placed upon the physical and teaching facilities of these smaller hospitals. With decentralization there is hope that the student will obtain more individual attention. Dr. Lichtman commutes daily from Scarsdale to Downstate. He is married and has three children. He plays tennis regularly and enjoys growing orchids, as a hobby. Other interests include attending the symphony and opera. RICHARD LEVERE, Assistant Professor of Medicine, is well known both as a teacher of second year laboratory medicine and as a preceptor in the third and fourth year medicine clerkships. He is a graduate of Midwood High School, New York Uni- versityls Washington Square College, and was a member of the last class to be housed in the old .Long Island -College of Medicine buildings. After internship and a year of residency at Bellevue and two years in the army, he returned to Kings County Hospital to complete his medical residency and a hematology fellowship. He then devoted two years to research at Rockefeller University before he joined the Downstate Medical Center faculty in 1965. Dr. Levere sincerely enjoys teaching and scientific investigation. His research involves the control mechanisms concerned with hemoglobin synthesis and diseases of porphyrin metabolism. He feels that automation and computers are now having significant effects on medical education and practice. In the future he believes that there will be greater opportunities in full time, hospital based, medical careers. A resident of Woodmere, Long Island, he is the father of two daughters, eight and ten years of age, and a six-year-old son. Dr. Levere's leisure activities include tennis, camping, and carpentry. .

MAGILL has been with the De- partment of Microbiology and Immunology since 1948. After receiving his B.A. and M.D. degrees from Johns Hopkins, Dr. Magill spent three years as a medical resident and then as an instructor of medicine. before joining the Rockefeller Institute and pursuing his interest in infectious diseases and immunology Cfmechanisms of infectionnj. Most of his time is spent in active research and in the teach- ing of students, which he feels is most gratifying. Dr. Magill would like to see a closer rapport be- tween students and faculty and less didactic prin- ciples which tend to stress minutia. He would also like to see closer relationships between the different departments and a system of dual appointments be- tween the various departments. A man doing re- search in biochemistry in the Department of Psy- chiatry, for instance, cannot really consider himself a biochemist unless he spends some of his time in the Department of Biochemistry. Although many of us have debated some of his ideas and methods, we will all feel a great loss when Dr. Magill steps down as Chairman of the Depart- ment at the end of this year. 40 HAROLD A. LYONS was born in Woodhaven. He attended Alexander Hamilton High School, where he was a miler and soccer fullback. Following notable academic achievements in high school, he attended St. Johnls College and graduated in 1935, majoring in chemistry. At that time, he was the only student in the physicial chemistry class!! Dr. Lyons then entered the Long Island College of Medi- cine and after graduating, interned in surgery at Long Island College Hospital and then at Brooklyn Hospital, in medicine. The war years saw Dr. Lyons in various theaters of operations, where he was involved in many medi- cal activities. He opened the cardiopulmonary laboratory at St. Albans, and while still in the Navy, worked with Comroe in Philadelphia. Dr. Lyons came to us in 1953, at a time when there was only one nurse in E Building! Dr. Lyons enjoys teaching students, and feels that there is not enough teaching at Downstate. He feels that the major function of a teacher is to stimulate interest in the student, but the student must be willing to learn. In addition, he would like to see more basic subjects taught and less of an emphasis on esoteric research material. Among his many interests are general medicine, mechanics of respiration, aerospace and underwater medicine, and comparative physiology. Dr. Lyons lives in Sands Point with his eight children. In his leisure hours, he enjoys hiking and camping, fishing, bird watching, and listening to music, especially opera. One of the biggest men in gastroenterology, Dr. EDMUND F. MCNALLY, Assistant Professor of Medicine, has been a favorite personality and teacher with the students. With a unique sense of humor that belittles his imposing physical stature, he never fails to get across the point that he is making. After studying medicine at Johns Hopkins, Dr. McNally, a native Brooklynite., interned ag did his residency at Kings County Hospital. Originally wanting to do research into the biochemical nature of embryologic inducers, he became interested in gastroenterology while a house officer and became a research fellow at Boston University School of Medicine. He re- turned to Kings County in 1962 and is now Director of Gastroenterology at Kings County and University Hospitals. He believes that a good researcher must be a good clinician as well, and be able to apply his discoveries. Practicing what he preaches, he has re- cently applied his discovery of a radio-opaque marshmallow', to the study of intestinal motility and to aid in the diagnosis of dysphagia. Despite a full schedule of teaching activities, Dr. McNally al- ways has time to talk with the students and explain the finer points of medicine in his own inimitable way. Outspoken and never afraid to voice his opin- ion, he would like to see more student-faculty con- tact. Dr. McNally is one of New York's foremost authorities on the history of local cemeteries and the people who are buried there. He lives with his wife and three children in Douglaston, Long Island. R MARTIN METZ is both Director of the Student Health Service and an Associate Professor of Medi- cine at Downstate. He also directs the mixed medi- cine internship program at Kings County Hospital. Dr. Metz began his undergraduate education at City College. His education was interrupted by the Second Wold War during which he served in the army as a Master Sergeant. After the war, he re- turned to City College and graduated with a B.S. and a B.Chem.E. He attended medical school at Edinburgh and took his internship and residency in medicine at Kings County Hospital. He is board certified in internal medicine. Treating medical students can sometimes be try- ing, according to Dr. Metz, because unlike the ordinary patient, medical students are very con- scious of symptoms. It is sometimes difficult to separate the serious problems from the minor. Dr. Metz believes, however, that his department has done an excellent job in meeting the health needs of the students. Married and the father of three daughters, Dr. Metz's main outside interests are his family and an occasional game of golf. 41 As Professor and Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, EDWARD MUNTWYLER be- lieves that biochemical research goes hand in hand with the teaching of medical students. However, the first obligation of a faculty member is to the students. In addition to Dr. Muntwyler's heavy teaching load, he is investigating amino acid metabolism and transport between plasma and muscle in relation to acid-base changes. Dr. Muntwyler received his doctorate at Iowa State University and first taught at Western Reserve. He came to the Long Island College of Medicine in 1944. The proud grandfather of two, Dr. Muntwylerls main outside interests include reading, especially scientific subjects, bridge, and gardening. 42 One of the most popular teachers of the first year is IRWIN M. MURRAY whose guidance and in- sight helped ease the difficult transition to medical school. A man who sincerely loves teaching, he likes to spend as much time as possible with the students in the gross anatomy laboratory. A native of Canada, Dr. Murray returns to Nova Scotia for his vacations. He graduated from Dal- haousie Medical School, spent the Hnal years of World War II in the Medical Corps, and joined the anatomy department at Dalhousie, he came to Downstate in 1951. Dr. Murray lives with his family in Floral Park, Long Island, he has two sons and two daughters. He enjoys music and used to play the violin before his son took to playing on his violin. Dr. Murray used to play with an orchestra in Brooklyn. He is looking forward to the expansion of the graduate school which, he feels, should broaden the visions of the medical school. Dr. Murray believes that changes should be made in the medical school curriculum to bring the student into contact with the patient population in the first year of medical school. A more dynamic approach to the teaching of medi- cine will be beneficial both to the student and to the teacher. It is now a year since JOSE and JOSEFINA PANGAN returned to the Philippines, but the ef- fect of their friendly guidance is still with us. Jose came to Kings County Hospital in January, 1961, as a rotating intern, Josefina followed in July, 1961, as an intern in pediatrics. They both completed residencies at Kings County Hospital and became members of the teaching staff in their respective de- partments. The Drs. Pangan returned to Manila in May, 1967, and are now practicing surgery and pediatrics in a small clinic with two other physicians. In ad- dition, Josefina is teaching in the medical school of the University of Santo Tomas. The summer of 1967 also saw the arrival of their third child, a boy, Whom they have named Antonio. JAMES H. NELSON, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology is remembered by our class for his excellent tumor rounds during our OB-GYN clerkship at Kings County Hospital. Dr. Nelson did his undergraduate education at Marietta College in Ohio. During his summer vaca- tions, he published a horse racing scratch sheet to pay ,for,coHegg.He attended the New York Unger! sity School of Medicine. Following medical school, Dr. Nelson did his internship and residency at the St. Albans Naval Hospital, St. Albans, N.Y. Teaching and research are Dr. Nelson's main interests at Downstate. He feels that teaching repre- sents a challenge because it forces one to remain alert and fully informed concerning the newest de- velopments in oneis field. Currently, Dr. Nelson is investigating the immunological reactions related to placental tolerance during pregnancy. Married and the father of two sons, Dr. Nelson's outside interests include football and golf. His con- fidence in Downstate is expressed by the fact that his eldest son is a member of the first year class. 43 Always a friend to students, FRANZ REICHS- MAN is a Professor of Medicine assigned from Psy- chiatry. Dr. Reichsman grew up in Yugoslavia, but received most of his education in Austria, including his M.D. degree from the University of Vienna Med- ical School. He came to the United States in l939 and interned at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. He re- mained at Sinai for his residency in pathology and his residency in medicine. While teaching at the Southwestern Medical College, Dr. Reichsman be- came interested in psychosomatic medicine and went to the University of Rochester Medical School to pursue this interest. He came to Downstate in 1964 to develop a medical psychiatric liaison service. He is currently studying patients on chronic hemodialy- sis, but most of his investigations have been on the relationship between gastric secretion and behavior. Dr. Reichsman feels that Downstate has a fine and highly intelligent student body but he Wishes that they could learn less for examinations and more for learning sake-more for the atmosphere of in- tellectual excitement. Dr. Reichsman is married and lives on Long Is- land with his wife and live children. He enjoys both classical and contemporary music. 44 Completing his nineteenth year on the faculty and his tenth on the Admissions Committee at Down- state, JEROME PARNELL provides an interested and dignified guiding hand to students in anatomy. He looks to a good future for Downstate in an era when the increasing importance of medical educa- tion is receiving wider public support. Dr. Parnell attended Manhattan College, received his master's degree from St. Louis University, and his Ph.D. from New York University. He Ends particular satisfac- tion in teaching, but regrets that his duties as Assist- ant Dean keep him away from the gross anatomy lab- oratories all too often. Dr. Parnell spends his leisure time at home with his family in Baldwin, Long Is- land. He is looking forward to a future in medical administration. X' 2 . -i WALTER RISS, Associate Professor of Anatomy, grew up in New Britain, Connecticut and received his undergraduate and postgraduate education at the Universities of Connecticut, Rochester, and Kansas. Feeling that opportunities for research were greatest at state universities and that the State University of New York was prominent among state institutions, he came to Downstate in 1954 and has since been active in both teaching-a . - - Dr. Riss feels that the recent trend toward increas- ing specialization has been of great value in enhanc- ing the amount of scientific information available, but he simultaneously emphasizes the fields of scien- tific eifort. Thus he has recently organized a new journal entitled Brain, Behavior and Evolution, the purpose of which is to integrate knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system with knowledge of behavior. The role of a professor according to Dr. Riss is threefold: C13 to increase knowledge through re- search, C21 to make knowledge comprehensible to students so that they may carry on investigative and educational efforts, C31 to transmit to the students some sense of the enthusiasm the teacher has for his subject matter. Dr. Riss lives in Greenvale, Long Island with his wife and three children. He enjoys classical music and swimming in his leisure time. We will remember him for his well organized and deliberately presented lectures in neuroanatomy, his demonstrations of va- rious types of gaits, his cigars, and his droll sense of humor. . ' - he ,X v e RONALD RUBIN has impressed us as a knowl- edgeable pharmacologist as well as a friendly and helpful individual. Born in upstate New York, he re- ceived his Ph.D. at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and came to Downstate in 1962. He has since investigated the mechanisms of catecholamine release from the adrenal medulla, in addition to his teaching assignments in pharmacology. A firm be- liever in close student-faculty relations, he welcomes the pharmacology projects,' each year, which allow him to work closely with students, and for com- munication to develop. The success of Downstate, he believes, must evolve from both the students and the faculty, each contributing to the other's educa- tion. The studentis role, he feels, must not only be to memorize facts, but also to think creatively about them, and even to challenge their validity. Only in this way will both students and faculty continue to learn. Besides his other duties, Dr. Rubin is the able fac- ulty adviser to both the New Caducean Magazine and the LICHONIAN. An avid sports fan, he partic- ularly enjoys football. Dr. Rubin is married and the father of three children. 45 Conducting research and teaching students are the two main concerns of MORRIS SIEGEL, an ami- able and well liked epidemiologist. Dr. Siegel thinks the emphasis of medical education has rightly shifted to a more research oriented approach which benefits today's student by enabling him to evaluate future discoveries as well as providing a forward intellectual atmosphere that, hopefully, will be carried into pri- vate practice. He feels that Downstate, by its far sighted expansion, must ultimately become an out- standing and highly respected institution. Born in New York City, Dr. Siegel attended City College and received his medical education at New York University, later interning at Bellevue Hospital. Since coming to Downstate in 1951, he has pursued his research interest in the causation of disease in population groups, with particular emphasis on sys- temic lupus erythematosus. Married and the father of two, he feels that his work and his family are his most enjoyable hobbies. 46 ELIZABETH M. SMITHWICK hails from the small town of Casco, Wisconsin. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin and worked at Tulane University and the University of Minnesota. She then returned to Wisconsin and earned her M.D. de- gree. She first came to Kings County Hospital as a rotating intern and, then, became a pediatric resident at Bellevue and Western Reserve. Combining travel and education, she was Senior House Officer at Lon- don's Queen Charlotte Maternity Hospital, in charge of the newborn nursery. She returned to Kings County Hospital in 1960 as an instructor in the De- partment of Pediatrics. Except for a one-year so- journ C1963-1964J in Dallas at the Southwestern Medical School, studying rheumatic diseases and immunology, she has been with us since then. The proud owner of a green 1967 European sports car acquired in France, Dr. Smithwick enjoys travel- ing and looks forward to future trips. She belongs to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and tries, sometimes successfully, to raise house plants. Q 12 gf- . . 5: One teacher from whom we have always received a greeting is JEROME G. STEMPAK, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy. Although occasional slips of memory may have led him to greet us with the name alphabetically adjacent to ours or with only 'fGood Sir, each of us was almost always addressed personally. This not only reiiects the great interest that Dr. Stempak has shown in us, but also typifies his dedication. Dr. Stempak grew up in Chicago and received his undergraduate and postgraduate education in Illinois. He is now in his fifth year at Downstate and has found in Downstate one of the few medical schools offering what he considers to be an ideal balance be- tween teaching and research. Dedication is the es- sence of his participation in both of these areas. His relationship with the student includes not only a desire to teach but also an interest in the student as a person. He feels that students today are better qualified than in the past and lauds the absence of the grade-point marking system at Downstate. Most of his non-teaching time is spent in research using the electron microscope. In what little time remains after teaching and re- search activities, Dr. Stempak enjoys reading fiction or watching a good movie. He and his wife have a home in Brooklyn, Dr. Stempak,s interest and will- ingness to help have generated a feeling of concern for each of us that we have sincerely appreciated. Q :,-: . - .1 A most stimulating teacher, LUCY FRANK SQUIRE is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at Downstate as well as a Lecturer at Harvard. A na- tive of Washington, D.C., she attended George Washington University and the Woman's Medical College. After internship at Womanis Hospital, Dr. Squire went on to Massachusetts General Hospital for her radiology training. Finding private practice unstimulating, she went tothe University of Rocha ester Medical School to teach. She came to.New York in l96O to write the wonderful text with which we are all so familiar. Exclusively a teacher, Dr. Squire believes in tak- ing the threat out of medical school, providing con- fidence, and establishing a closer relationship be- tween teacher and student. Another of her interests is devising ways to prevent losing those potentially good students in the first and second years who do not settle down until they get to clinical medicine. Dr. Squires lives in Manhattan and commutes weekly to Boston. She is married to a neurologist at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, and has a son in the Air Force. The theater, the ballet, playing the piano, and medical writing occupy her spare time. She feels that 'fDownstate is constantly improving and, as every medical school, it stands to be im- proved constantlyf' Dr. Squire has brought a fresh outlook and meaningful advancement to Downstate. We will always thank her for this! .re A A 47 Q 1 NATALIE STRUTYNSKY, Assistant Professor of Radiology, came to the United States from the Ukraine. After receiving her medical degree from Woman's Medical College, she interned at Beth-El Hospital Cnow Brookdalei and did her residency training at Kings County Hospital. Dr. Strutynsky works full time at both the Hos- pital and the clinics. Most of her time is spent with patient care, but she also teaches medical students and house staff members. Her latter duties are es- pecially gratifying for Dr. Strutynsky, and as stu- dents, we are all aware of her excellent qualities as a teacher. At present, Dr. Strutynsky is especially interested in pediatric cardiology and problems in pediatric urology. Dr. Strutynsky feels that a closer relationship be- tween students and faculty members would be bene- ficialg students should become better acquainted with faculty members during medical school in order that this relationship remain after the student has grad- uated and assumed the responsibilities of a physician. Dr. Strutynsky is married to a business economist and they have three boys. In her leisure hours, Dr. Strutynsky enjoys skiing, and tennis, and during the summer, hiking and gardening in Hunter, N.Y., where she has a summer house. 48 FLORENCE M. STONE, an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, feels that it has been both a delightful experience and a privilege to have taught over 4500 medical students. Her associa- tion with students she states, besides being unusually pleasant, has taught her about human nature. Before joining the faculty at the Long Island Col- lege of Medicine in 1937, Dr. Stone taught at Col- umbia University College of Physicians and Sur- geons, where she had previously received her Ph.D. Dr. Stonefs future plans include retirement to her home in Florida, where she will teach and continue her research in cellular physiology at Rollins Col- lege, her alma mater. She will also spend her leisure time listening to classical music, traveling, and most of all, with her friends. We wish this most dedicated and understanding teacher happiness and continued success. DONALD SUMMERS, Instructor of Medicine, is one of Downstate's new breed of young and ener- getic teachers and researchers. He trained as an in- tern and resident at Kings County Hospital and after a year of fellowship training at St. Francis Hospital, returned to Downstate for two more years of fellow- ship in cardiology. Currently completing a research project in the hemodynamic and metabolic altera- tiensineeeronar ' . , . fs also enjoys his teaching responsibilities. He would like to expand the students' exposure to the cardiac patient beyond diagnosis to include pre-operative evaluation, surgery, post-operative care and out-patient follow up. He enjoys the intellectual stimulation that his contact with the students creates, and would like to increase the informal interchanges between faculty and medical students. Although his work keeps him very busy, Dr. Summers enjoys going fishing. Mar- ried, he lives with his wife and two children in Man- orhaven, Long Island. A dedicated teacher, GEORGE B. TALBERT wishes that he could have had more personal con- tact with more of the class as he helped guide us through gross anatomy and embryology. Dr. Talbert began teaching here at the inception of the State Uni- versity and feels that Downstate is on the verge of becoming one of the top medical schools in the country. He spent his undergraduate years at the University of North Dakota, and, then, attended the University of .Wisconsin where he received his mas- ters and Ph.D. Besides his teaching chores, Dr. Tal- bert is supervising two graduate students in research on aging changes in the reproductive capacity of fe- males fratsj. He lives in Floral Park, Long Island and is the father of two sons. His leisure activities include being a television sports fan and attending the opera and the ballet. If he were offered a choice between two seats at the Metropolitan Opera and two seats on the fifty yard line at Yankee Stadium, he would probably be found in the stands at the football game. 49 A kind, enthusiastic, and seemingly tireless teacher is RAMON RODRIGUEZ-TORRES, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and specialist in pediatric car- diology. Dr. Rodriguez-Torres, large teaching duties include instructing pediatric cardiology fellows, house staff, medical students, and nurses. He feels his efforts are well rewarded by the pride he can feel when he sees his students applying what he has taught them. Not only does his clear presentation of information make him an excellent teacher, but the enthusiasm he shows for his subject matter is an in- spiration to his students. Dr. Rodriguez-Torres feels that the inquisitive nature of medical students on the wards is a stimulus to the house staff and attendings and thereby leads to better patient care. Dr. Rodriguez-Torres was born in Cuba and re- ceived his medical education and training there and in England. In 1961 he came to Downstate. He feels that the trend toward greater and greater specializa- tion is necessary now that the field of medicine has become so large and complex, but at the same time he believes that because the family doctor knows the whole patient, he should be the first to whom the patient goes for help. Dr. Rodriguez-Torres lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two sons and in his leisure time enjoys tak- ing trips to the countryside. We thank him for his generous efforts on our behalf and for the privilege of knowing him. .gre - ,, 50 R. KEITH WATERHOUSE, Professor and Chief of Urology at both the University and Kings County Hospitals is a familiar figure to the fourth year med- ical students. Although he has an extremely full schedule, Dr. Waterhouse finds time to personally meet with all the students on his service. He enjoys teaching very much and feels that it is unfortunate that, because of the large size of the classes, there cannot be closer student-teacher contact. After completing his education at both Oxford and Cambridge, Dr. Waterhouse came to the United States and the State University thirteen years ago. He began his training here as a resident in urology and went on to head that discipline. Dr. Waterhouse, his wife, and their five children live on Long Island, but spend their summers at Cape Cod. Dr. Waterhouse also enjoys traveling and has been to many countries for pleasure as well as to give lectures. His main hobby is collecting Chinese antiques. 4 ,, Xxx Perhaps the greatest problem that BERNARD WECHSLER is confronted with is not having enough hours in the day to devote to teaching on in- dividual levels. Of course he is engaged in the in- struction of interns, residents, and medical students Cand post-graduate physiciansj, but the groups he deals with are often too large to offer direct assist- ance. The solution, he feels, lies in increasing the size of the faculty with an emphasis placed on the clinical training of students and house staff. More re- searchers are needed, but the responsibility of a medical school to teach future clinicians is of pri- mary importance. Dr. Wechsler spent his undergraduate medical years in Berne, Switzerland. He came to Downstate in 1960 as a cardiac fellow under Dr. Dock. Teach- ing is one of his prime interests and he hopes that he may devote more time to it in the future. Dr. Wechsler usually spends 15 hours a day either in the catheterization laboratory, attending staff con- ferences, visiting other hospitals, or lecturing to var- ious groups. He also has a limited private practice. If he should have a few hours to himself, they are usually spent at home or exercising at a local swim- ming pool. He regrets that he cannot find more time for teaching and reading new medical literature, but there is a shortage of available Cardiologists, and he must do all he can. An authority on sickle cell anemia, R. JANET WATSON is also a familiar and friendly face on the pediatric wards of Kings County Hospital. Born in Fenchow in Northern China, she did her under- graduate work at Carleton College in Minnesota and received her M.D. degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1938. Internship and residencies followed, in pediatrics and internal medi- cine, at Long Island College Hospital and Dr. Wat- son then began a hematology research fellowship with Dr. William Castle and Dr. George Minot. She became Associate Professor and Director of Hema- tology in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Long Island College of Medicine. Dr. Watson is board certiied in both pediatrics and internal medi- cine. She is presently Associate Professor of Pedia- trics and Director of the Division of Pediatric Hema- tology. 51 4 S 5 gel. In his lectures, discussion groups, and chance in- formal conversations, CARL T. WOLFF, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, has demonstrated a sincerity and dedication to us which we have greatly appre- ciated. Dr. Wolff came to Downstate several years after he completed his education and training at Yale and Harvard Universities, the Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Massachusetts Mental Health Cen- ter. He feels that students are now beginning to par- ticipate more in activities at Downstate and believes that since students make the schoolj' this is a healthy trend. While Dr. Wolff believes that medical training is better today in importing scientific knowl- edge, he worries that medical education at present is placing too little emphasis on teaching the art of medicine. Another problem that Dr. Wolff feels must be met in the future is that of patient care. Is patient care a privilege as the president of the American Medical Association states, or is patient care a right as an increasingly large segment of the population is claiming? Dr. Wolff foresees a major revamping of present concepts of medical education and training in response to this question. Dr. Wolff and his wife live in Manhattan. In the little free time he has, he enjoys sailing and reading. We have gained much not only from his lectures but also from our exposure to him as an example of a kind, warm, and empathetic doctor. 52 Well known to us for his quiet manner and his ever present pipe, WILLIAM T. WEST was always avail- able for our problems in gross anatomy and in gen- eral. He envisions a bright future for Downstate be- cause the material and the potential are at hand. Dr. West also believes that the students are becoming more rounded in outlook and more perceptive to medical, social, and political problems. Preferring the wide outdoors to the congestion of the big city, he regrets, only, that there are not more trees and grass near the medical center. Dr. West attended a small college, American In- ternational, in Springfield, Massachusetts, and re- ceived his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. Besides his dedicated teaching, he is involved in re- search on reproductive physiology and on amyloid disease. Now living in Roosevelt, Long Island, he is the proud father of two musically talented children. Needless to say, one of Dr. West's main interests is music. He also likes to Mget away, with his family, for summer vacations in Maine in order to hunt and fish. He and his wife are currently taking dancing lessons and are having the time of their lives. VALENTIN YERMAKOV has been a member of the Pathology Department since l955. Educated in Yugoslavia and Germany, he received his M.D. degree and Board Certification in Heidelberg. His medical affiliation in the United States has been limited to New York City. After spending one year at St. Clare's Hospital in Manhattan, he came to Downstate, wheregghejagerved as resident, fellow, instructor, and now Associate Professor of Pathol- ogy. Dr. Yermakov enjoys teaching but is sorry that there is not a better Hstudent-teacher ratio at Down- state. f-He feels that many of the students are too 'ftest-oriented, studying to pass exams rather than to learn for knowledge sake, and for that reason he would like to see an educational program without examinations. He would like his students to become and remain academically oriented, he also wishes that there were fewer people going into medicine for the financial rewards and stability it affords, he feels that this situation is slowly improving. Dr. Yermakovfs interests are not limited to medi- cine, but include hunting, ping pong, and volley ball. He is married and has three children. A large proportion of the teaching in our environ- mental medicine courses has come from MAHFOUZ H. ZAKI, Assistant Professor of Environmental Medicine and Community Health. Dr. Zaki is a like- able and enthusiastic teacher who has always been available to us whether it be to answer medical ques- tions or just to have a friendly conversation. Dr. Zaki was born in Egypt and received his med- ical training at Cairo University. He earned his Doc- tor of Public Health degree at Columbia University in New York City and in 1962 came to Downstate. The specialty of Environmental Medicine and Community Health concerns itself with viewing the patient not only as an individual but also as part of a unit, i.e., as part of a family. Thus, according to Dr. Zaki, if every doctor treats the whole family, ultimately we will be treating the whole community. Although Dr. Zaki praises the American system of medical education for the large amount of material it enables students to learn in a relatively short per- iod of time, he feels that the European system, which has fewer years of undergraduate education and a longer period for medical education, has the ad- vantage of: C13 enabling the student to see more different diseases Q21 decreasing pressures on the student. Dr. Zaki and his wife live in Huntington Hills, Long Island. When he can find time, he enjoys photography, tennis, and travel. We have enjoyed knowing this enthusiastic and interesting man. 53 STANLEY L. COHAN helped teach us neuroana- tomy as a graduate student in the M.D.-Ph.D. pro- gram, but for the last two years, he has been a fel- low classmate. Stan believes that one of his greatest opportunities was to participate in the M.D.-Ph.D. program, and that the program is much to the school's credit. A graduate of Kenyon College, Stan is married and the father of a three-year-old daughter. He has been interested in the effect of irradiation on the de- veloping brain. His interest in neuroanatomy and neu- rology has carried him to conferences in Strasbourg, France and Williamsburg, Virginia. Stan feels that Downstate will be judged on the attitude of its graduates towards the school. If doc- tors from Downstate feel that they were inspired and taught by people interested in teaching them, then this feeling will be conveyed wherever they go. 54 BERNARD AND STEPHANIE GELLER, al- though classmates of ours, have also served as our teachers during our anatomy courses in the Hrst year. Both Bernie and Stephie are from Queens, but they emigrated to Brooklyn via N.Y.U. Heights and Smith, respectively. Bernie lectured to us on the anatomy of the heart. He has been working on cellular aspects of inilama- tion and immunity and received his Ph.D. in 1967. He has presented papers to numerous scientific or- ganizations and has published extensively. Bernie hopes to pursue a career in academic pediatrics. Stephie taught us gross anatomy. Originally in the M.D.-Ph.D. program where she worked on liver polyploidy, she became interested in psychiatry and joined the straight M.D. curriculum. Stephie plans a career in child psychiatry. Besides raising two wonderful children Uessica and Jonathanj, the Gellers have found time to be- friend their classmates and to oifer valuable advice when needed. We have been truly fortunate to have had two such understanding and knowledgeable classmates and we wish the Gellers well in their fu- ture endeavors.

JOHN DONNE On one warm September morning, like Don Quix- ote with our ideals waving in the breeze like colored banners, the class of l96S, some 200 strong, began its medical odyssey. Armed with every conceivable type of notebook, pencil, crayon, tape recorder, and 'freserved seat marker, we confronted those pillars of knowledge whose job it was to instill in us the information we would need to carry on in our chosen profession. More than once we were outflanked, and we took some casualties along the way. The bells toll even louder now, only we are a little more deaf than when we started. f f f' K Z 'A Wd , 'U N. s : if 1 we s In the first year the only way to differentiate the medical students from the Ph.D. candidates was to observe when a lecturer said, Good morning. The Ph.D. candidates would reply, while the medical students would copy good morningl, into their note- books. We were able to locate the anatomy labs, even if we could not yet find our lockers or the library. Nor could we miss a fellow classmate in the cafe- teria. Carbolic acid, it was learned, effectively killed all bacteria and fungi, and thereby preserved our cadavers. It also killed olfactory sensation and most social contact. 56 Not a leg to stand on Where's that damned nerve? We shall always recall the superb quality of the anatomy instructors, each more friendly and more willing to teach, and to listen to our problems whether related to anatomy or not. However, even in that blue ribbon faculty, there were some black sheep. Who will ever forget the anatomy lecture illustrated with black chalk on the blackboard. Who, also, could forget the famous collection of memo- rabilia, the bone box, or trying to find the greater superficial petrosal nerve. After a few brief glimpses of sunlight, we found ourselves in biochemistry lectures where we heard,' an enormous amount of vitally', important ma- terial. We regret the lack of clinical correlation at that time, for the countless pages of notes impressed us only as minutia. And then we found ourselves in the biochemistry lab, in which only the ex-bar- tenders finished on time. The line for the spectrophotometer forms at the rear. The great day came, when after carefully choos- ing and adhering to nightmarish diets Cwhich made us milk runners, brought out our latent diabetes, or produced drooling starversj, we scrupulously col- lected samples, measured, pipetted, and titrated ali- quots from the urine jug Then we calculated, in triplicate, and finally racked our brains trying to explain a negative nitrogen balance on a high pro- tein diet or a creatinine ratio of 10.

That these names had so much meaning at the end of the course is to the credit of the staff in neuro- anatomy. Clinical correlation was rewarding, and most of us began to feel like student doctors for a change. ? Your dog did WHA T, chief? While we were memorizing electron micrographs of cilia and debating the theoretical functions of the tract of LIRR, we somehow managed to devote an hour or two to the physiology of the cardiac, renal, and respiratory systems. Under the skillful tutelage of Otto and Sibby, we learned to cannulate dogs, decerebrate cats, smoke kymograph paper, and avoid catching pneumonia in the cold room. Above all, we learned never to stand in front of an anesthetized dog while its sciatic nerve was being stimulated. Latent paranoia towards the faculty be- came overt when, during a physiology exam, it was realized that ether was being pumped into the room via the air vents. In all fairness, the physiology proc- tor immediately handled the emergency and led us safely to another lecture hall, where the fumes were stronger. And if you get a nibble, pull sfeczdy or you'1l lose 'em. 61 There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. B. DISRAELI. So that we would not have too much time on our hands, a course in statistics given by the De- partment of Environmental Medicine was integrated into our schedule on Saturday mornings. We re- learned how to add long columns of numbers, and We participated in important sessions where the mean pulse rate of the class was calculated. At least it got us up in time to play softball. zz:-2 1 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. ISAIAH. Meetings with Dr. Drooz were like Mary Worth installments: we always were eager for the next episode. We learned that some of the faculty had tape recorders too, and We learned a little about self-defense. l 62 The year ended with a barrage of tests. For physiology we wrote erudite essays on Arabian clothing and paraded our kymographs for the orals. We also participated in the two hour psychodrama '4VVhat's my lesion?,,, after which we Walked out and found the air was warm, the trees were green, and that summer beckoned. Some people have a perfect genius for doing nothing, and doing it assiduously. HALIBURTON. After vacationing at various resorts, summer labs, or sanitoriums, we returned afresh to begin the sec- ond year. Pharmacology was a pleasant, well run, and in- formative course. Of all the esoteric physiologic properties of the many drugs we studied, the one property best remembered is the universal side ef- fects of Hanorexia, nausea, and vomiting, Wine is the most healthful and hygienic of beverages.

' wHA1's uv, unc? 63 We also attended microbiology lectures, where the sacred value of notes took on new meaning, as we furiously copied every pearl from the lips of the chairman, memorized it in toto, and rewrote it verbatim on exams. It did not matter what the question asked, as long as altered reactivity and 'tthe true susceptiblesi' were somehow incorporated into the answer.

That fearful day came when, syringe in hand and arms extended, lab partners slowly approached each other, and We performed our first phlebotomy. As the course progressed, it became increasingly diffi- cult to find a vein underneath the typhoid shots, DPT, tuberculin reaction, BCG, Schick test, and smallpox vaccinations, we had to be careful what kind of parties we attended for fear of being arrested as narcotics users. Micro ended with a bang, for as the poem Syph- ilis', was being read, a matchbook exploded in the hands of one of our classmates. 65 In the midst of our tribulations, we could look for- ward to the combined wisdom of the 'gSyntopicon,' as Dr. Hillman presented his little quotes before each environmental medicine lecture. In a few hours' time, we became experienced geneticists, could spot kwashiorkor from across the room, or track down hepatitis epidemics in the New Jersey swamps. Candy Is dandy But liquor Is quicker. OGDEN NASH Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow ye diet. Better halfe a loaf than no bread. 66 Each Thursday, we enjoyed interesting diversions presented by the Department of Psychiatry. The new program seemed to be sponsored by the Museum of Natural History. The first month was sort of a Zoological Kama Sutra, for we not only learned how the birds and the bees fared, but also how stickle- back fish, monkeys, and turkeys managed as well. We met at a Downstate mixer. Then, suddenly, almost without warning, we found ourselves crowded into a small amphitheater where the man in the pant, was being demonstrated.

Alternating with pathology was laboratory medi- cine or g'Scut lOl, where We spent many hours per- fecting our red blood cell counts. We still remember that slide 1114 is granulocytic leukemia. We also re- member the buckets conveniently placed near the benches on the day that half of us suffered the naso- gastric tube. One day, after thoroughly examining each other and memorizing the history and physical sheets, we finally examined our first patient, then furiously raced to review his chart before the preceptor arrived. But before long, opening snaps and Austin Flint murmurs became routine findings for us. D0 unto the other feller the way he'd like to do unto you an' do it fust. 68 Then, on an evening in the spring, we assembled at a posh Manhattan hotel for the traditional Soph- omore Dinncr. For those who had been hearing puns on the name of our school- Downtown,,' Downstream, the real name of the school was in- scribed on the sign at the entrance to the ballroom: OWNSTATE MEDICAL CENTER. Soon finals were at hand, and those who were dazed by the barrage of orals, practicals, theses, and Written exams, became anesthetized after the Boards four days later, Sumer is icumen in, Lhude sing cuccu! After recovering from the neurogenic and hypo- volemic shock of the Boards, some of us began the third year with the study of medicine at Kings County Hospital. I5 CBC's in one hour! Immediately, we became absorbed in hemato- crits, urinalyses, WBC's, differentials, blood drawing, sed rates, clotting times, and learning short cuts to the X-ray department and the blood bank. Occasion- ally We found time to read Harrison, if only to pick out far-fetched diagnoses for preceptor rounds. These were two-hour presentations which allowed ten min- utes for a history, physical, and differential diagno- sis, and one hour and 50 minutes for a thorough discussion of the preceptor's research interests. Lec- tures were held at noon each day and could barely be heard above the snoring and the borborygmi. However, we were, for the first time, part of the teamj, if only the water boy. God must have loved the people: He made so many of them. LINCOLN. More scut! We'll just have to fake a reference! Ready, Set, . . . Zap! We remember our patients vividly, especially the ones who had: Nsick-as-hell-anemiaj, 'gfireballs in my Eucharistj, uspider meningitisf' uprospect removal, and not demonstrated for 3 months. By the time We finished medicine, we could write histories and physicals in our sleep: This is the lst KCHA of a 67 yo WM who complains of SOB and PND. He is WDXWN and in NAD. After practicing in the hallowed halls of the Medi- cine Department and studying the intricacies of fluid and electrolyte balance, choice of antibiotics, and FUO Workups, We marched over to the surgery wards Where We found that everyone gets better with D5W, pen, and strep. 72 I can? find the Compciz, either. Is that medical student STILL scrubbing? 'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a songg But the man worth while is one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong. Imagine our chagrin when our residents laughed if we mentioned f'Co1istin,, as they handed us two more crits to do on the 7th floor centrifuge. Pull hard on that retractor, Dr. Mighty Mousef' It warmed the cockles of our hearts to know that here we were a real part of the team. We remember the ostracized student whose scrub cap fell on the patient's liver as his resident told him, Medical student, LOOK, don't ask questions! We also recall the patient who jumped out of a C-41 window, only to land on the ledge of Trauma Service. However, before being cared for, he had to be re- admitted through the Emergency Room. And, finally, who could forget the note left on a patient's chart for the nurse to call the medical stu- dent at 3 A.M. to do a WBC. Actually, we concluded that the third year stu- dents ran the surgical wards, because after 7 A.M. rounds, all the Ureall' doctors left for the O.R. or Michael's, while we remained to change dressings, cheer up the patients, and get the wards into shape for afternoon rounds. But I only wanted a pedicure. 73 The girls from O. B. G. Y. N.

After delivering five screeming meemies, and get- ting, perhaps, a 20 minute catnap on Friday nights, we all enjoyed the Saturday morning standing mara- thons. The bravest guy was the one who stood next to Dr. Wynn, because if that student fell asleep, Dr. Wynn would be toppled over for sure. The wise student knew: IJ Failure was a promise if your ruler for tox charts had a ripple along its edge. 21 Tumor Board was always in agreement. 33 Puja Cpronounced poo-haj, Mama, puja!

Seemingly, pediatrics was over as soon as it began, but its lectures, consistently delivered in monotone by people more bored than we Cif that was possiblej, lingered on for 8 Weeks. One saving grace' for the clerkship was the occasional night spent in the CRW. There were found, in all the acuteness of their colds, asthma, or bronchiolitis, the little people at their frontline confrontation with modern medicine. We stood in line, eagerly, to present each of our five cases to the one attending left in the clinic area. We left the routine of crits, CBC's, and urinalyses to enter the murky subterranean world of the id, ego, and superego, where strange complexes and possibly stranger preceptors passed before our eyes. I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul. SHAKESPEARE, Hamlet. We perfected our interviewing techniques by learn- ing to master all the many ways ah-huhw and 'fl seei' could be intonated. We saw the strange collec- tion of Dr. DiCori and his cohorts. Our patients were all Sanforizedi . . . that is, pre-shrunk, and were more adept at evading our questions than we were at getting to their problems.

Ever since the psychia- try clerkship, we have not felt very easy about having coffee at the '4Haven. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise. Wednesdays at Staten Island began with a coffee- clatch, which kept us awake in that crowded, stuffy room with the two-way mirror, It ended, and, also, was interrupted by, several other coffee breaks. In fact, the general consensus is that the most exciting part of those Wednesday morning excursions was the trip over the Verrazano Bridge.

TENNYSON. After our last free summer for many years to come, our fourth year began, albeit amid much confusion. The administration decided to replace such student favorites as anesthesiology and rehabilitation medi- cine with, of all things, student-chosen electives. While Wondering if the name of our school had been changed to Harvard, we set upon faculty members, trying to coerce them into giving us positions for our new found time. Those of us who were not able to get thc electives at the County had to settle for Peter Bent Brigham, Massachusetts General, the Jewish,', the Ski-Haven, or the Beach. Scrumptiousl munmlwnullllwwwrvwn But I GOTTA see Dr. Kohl! In the midst of planning a program, we also had to decide on a plan of attack upon internship possi- bilities. Gathering our lists of hospitals, We ap- proached the office of that staunch friend of the medical student, Schuyler G. Kohl, for fatherly advice on applying for internships. Our illusions trodden underfoot, we then set out in earnest to apply to, visit, and be interviewed by our chosen hospitals. Are you SURE y0u're a student here? I'm sorry, but he's out with Kohlitis. V 79 The sun shineth upon the dunghill and is not corrupted. JOHN LYLY. Electives took many forms and led us to exotic,' places. Some of the most interesting Work was done in the field of research. One student studied the problems of southern enuretic bigots, who had to attend Klan meetings in rubber sheets. Another took an Ob-Gyn clerkship in Asia with Ibn Fulla Bul's harem. He came back much wiser and available for consultation on cases involving cryptorchidism and eunuchoidism. One co-ed studied the various penile clamps for post-prostatectomy incontinence in a southern penal colony. Her efforts were very Well received by her subjects. An aspiring embryologist studied the anomalies of anemic anemones, and another the anatomic development of the femur of the lemur. One of our colleagues traveled to Hong Kong, and, along the Way, studied R.E.M. of visiting Senators to the War zone. He found that R.E.M. occurred throughout the night, especially during mortar shell- ings. Another, a psychiatric extern at St. Elsewhere, interviewed patients with nasal narcissism, that is to say, had nose fixations, and then decided that he Wanted to be a plastic surgeon. Cardiology was a popular elective, and several students studied the E.C.G. changes in hypospadius and concluded that the most common, if not pathog- nomonic, finding Was inverted P waves. A student who forgot to add the Cyclaine to the oxygen mix- ture made the startling discovery of Open-mouth surgery: the patient did not, for one minute, close his mouth during the entire operation. Not to be outdone, another surgical extern tried to transplant a heart, but, fortunately, the patient had a change of .... Scapel . . . Forceps . . . Oops . . . B0 'T W, .. After several months of the year were gone, we enjoyed getting back to the didactic lectures of the surgical subspecialties and promptly wished we hadn't. We could not rid ourselves of our deeply rooted paranoia, and rushed to plastics rounds and clinics so as not to miss anything. However, we quickly learned that the only thing we would miss was the house staff. We wondered what the E.N.T. lecturers would do without Frank Netter and Ciba, but were thankful that at last we knew what our nasal sinuses really looked like. We found that no test for G.F.R. was accurate because the technician did not know his gluteus maximus from his ole- cranon. We were surprised to learn that one cannot micturate during proctoscopy, but no one volun- teered to prove the point. The ophthalmologists lec- tured very well when they showed up, and were very honest with us when they told us that the best way to treat ocular disease was to call a consult as early as possible. uGems of wisdomv were abundant in neurosurgery, and we will always remember to in- clude tsutsugamushi fever in our differentials. Ortho- pedic residents helped us a lot, especially in studying for our exams. The other exams for which we had to study were made easier by the fact that the library provided us with material already Xeroxed'l for our studying. Plastics clinic What can be said about our rigorous reading weeks? ILL We then entered the dark world of radiology, where shadows take on new meanings . . . usually hidden to us. Our introduction to Drs. Aron and Alexander, in radiotherapy. was most worthwhile. Unfortunately, there was too little time spent with them. PWPW than ' Sight-us inversus. The car pool. Those of us who went to Baltic Street C5450 with a hotelj for environmental medicine quickly learned that we had gone downhill in the switch. Surprisingly enough, the group coming from environmental to surgical subspecialties felt the same way. How new and refreshing were the lectures, especially those on nutrition. But what problems we also had! One family of gypsies kept moving, so as not to be examined, and another demanded to have Pap smears done, much to the consternation of the student. We were looked after very well by the very, very friendly social worker, and enjoyed excellent cuisine at one outlying hospital. After a typical exam, we were relieved to get back to more electives. 83 L., 84 The culprit. We are still trying to unravel the mystery of who had to take pediatrics and why. Our most reliable sources report that someone,s grandson masterminded the plot by throwing darts at a class list. Many of us took medical clinics and were truly amazed by the efficiency and speed of the computers. The only thing not programmed was, unfortunately, the course itself. We presented to the wrong attend- ings, ordered the wrong tests, made incorrect clinic appointments, and, once in a while, got fed up and dropped out of sight, under the guise of going for interviews.
